The AppleCare Instructional Designer works with business partners to identify training needs and create instructor-led, web-based, and virtual training using cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions. You will partner with multiple teams to forecast potential contact drivers, plan troubleshooting, and curate a learning experience for our Advisors that meets them “where they are.” You will challenge learners’ understanding through relevant activities, author measurable learning objectives, and develop materials that promote transfer, retention, and application. You’ll work under tight deadlines with minimal supervision in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where quality, creativity, and accountability are tradition.

You will be expected to work closely with subject matter experts to craft, revise, and maintain training content.
